Stereo Mode

A stereo pair turns two SoundTouch 10 into a left and a right channel. Bosman then shows the pair as a single speaker.

Stereo pair or zone?

A stereo pair splits the music across two speakers in one room: left and right. A zone plays the same music on several speakers in different rooms. It has its own guide: Multi-room zones.

Requirements

  • Two SoundTouch 10. Other models do not support stereo pairs.
  • Both are switched on, on the same Wi-Fi and connected to your account in Bosman.
  • Neither of them is already in another stereo pair or in a multi-room zone. Such speakers appear greyed out in the list, with the reason next to them.
  • Ideally both stand in the same room, 2 to 6 metres apart.

Create a stereo pair

  1. Open Settings → Speakers and tap the arrow on the right of the row of the speaker that should play on the left.
  2. Tap Create stereo pair. This speaker is already set as the left channel.
  3. Under Pick the right speaker, choose the second speaker and tap Continue. The speaker icon next to an entry plays a test sound, so you can hear which one is meant.
  4. If the sides are wrong, swap them with Swap L↔R.
  5. Give the pair a name if you like and tap Create stereo pair. The app then opens the settings of the new pair.

Manage the pair

Open the pair settings via Settings → Speakers and the arrow on the right of the pair’s row. There you can:

  • Test L and Test R: a test sound on one side shows which speaker stands where.
  • Swap L↔R: swap left and right. The pair is briefly separated and rebuilt with the channels swapped. If it is currently playing in a multi-room zone, dissolve the zone first.
  • Balance: make one side louder than the other. Recenter returns it to the middle.
  • Rename: give the pair its own name.
  • Dissolve pair: the app asks once, then both speakers appear individually again.

If setup fails

  • A speaker does not respond: check that both are switched on and on Wi-Fi. If that does not help, restart the speaker.
  • A speaker is not yet fully connected to your account: wait a moment and try again.
  • A speaker is already in a stereo group: dissolve the other pair first.
  • The two speakers did not connect to each other: try again.
